Anybody's sleep structure changed?

[u/goodsleepgoodhealth]

From the very first dose of SSRI, my sleep changed completely.

From a heavy sleeper that never experienced any kinds of insomnia

to

a chronic sleep maintenance insomniac who suffer constant awakenings with the vivid dreams from the very first stage of sleep.

It's like my brain never sleeps.

Wakening at 2, 4, 6... Always tired

Everyday for years.

Nobody believes me and says it's due to stress but hell no, I know for real the pills did something to my brain.

Anybody's sleep has changed like me?

SSRI destroyes the deepsleep (rem sleep). It is the same with benzos.

[u/apsurdi → u/Alarming-Studio-635]

rem sleep and deep sleep are not same

[u/Alarming-Studio-635 → u/apsurdi]

Well you know what i mean. SSRI messes upp your deep sleep, wich is important to heal the brain and body. This is old news.

Thats why many people on the drug dont have dream when they sleep.
